I made this Soup for my wife and her friends when she hosted a Wine Tasting. I have also made it substituting Crab for Shrimp. They loved it.

Hot Avocado and Shrimp Soup

1 small onion, diced
2 stalks celery, chopped fine
4 cups chicken broth
1 bay leaf
4 sprigs parsley
1 cup sour cream
1/8 cup chopped chives
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 medium avocados, peeled, seeded, roughly chopped
1/2 cup cooked small shrimp, shelled, de-veined

Place onion, celery, broth, bay leaf, parsley, salt & pepper in a large saucepan. Simmer for 15 minutes. Strain and reserve stock.

Place avocados in blender or food processor; puree avocados while slowly adding stock.

When mixture is smooth, return to saucepan and heat gently; add shrimp. Cook over low heat until heated thoroughly, do not boil.

Serve with a dollop of sour cream atop each serving, and sprinkle with chopped chives.

Garnish with a slice of Fresh Avocado and sprig of cilantro

    OMG, two of my favorite things. Yum! You don't happen to have a rough calorie count for it, do you? (I'm totally being lazy, asking...)

    No. I'm sorry. I don't. Should be easy enough to build a recipe in MFP, though.

    Roughly 4 small bowls. It was not a main course, just one of 5 smaller dishes while my wife and her friends were tasting wines.

    This sounds good. I found a similar recipe on allrecipes.com that listed it at 124 calories. They did not give it a dollop of sour cream though. You need the sour cream though. I wonder how it would taste garnished with a dollop of fresh chunky salsa.
